You know, as a Brit living in the U.S. for some time now, I’ve had one major advantage – that of moral superiority.
This weekend, reading through some of the things that have happened since the #brexit vote – kids being shouted at in the street to “go home,” racists harassing basically every person of colour they see, I’m not only deeply ashamed, I’m kind of pissed off that now I can no longer stand on any kind of soapbox based on my nationality.
Fix your shit Britain. I say this with love, but seriously. We’re better than that, and we’re definitely better than the Americans. What if they end up not voting for Trump? We’re never going to live it down, how they managed to defeat racism at the ballot box and we couldn’t.
I mean, I love the U.S, but I never thought I’d look at people here and be like “They’re the sane ones, politically speaking.”
I mean, have you SEEN the crap Republicans say in public?
The people they have on their science committees think that science is all lies from the pit of hell. Have we come so far?
DO NOT SINK TO THEIR LEVEL BRITAIN.
Remember Churchill. When you’re going through hell … KEEP GOING.
